You can spot a center console boat right off the bat because it has a very unique design. Usually, the controls are placed at the bow but not with a center console! Here you’ll find the steering, ignition, and control panel all located in the center of the vessel. This opens up the layout, making it easy to walk around all parts of the boat. These boats have outboard motors.

Sometimes, the center part is covered to keep the controls, as well as the operator, protected from the sun and the rain. With larger models, you can even get an enclosed cabin around the controls for greater protection. Usually, most models don’t have a top or an enclosure, which works great for anglers who need more room to cast their lines. That does mean you can’t take your boat out in poor weather conditions.

The biggest advantage of a center console boat is the layout. With almost everything confined to the center, you have greater accessibility to all parts of the boat. With such a vessel, you can easily walk around the front part.

Usually, the central, forward, and side parts of the boat are where the storage areas are located. These are tucked away on a center console boat, making it especially advantageous for fishing enthusiasts. You can cast your line from any part of the boat and can also easily pull up a hooked fish since you won’t need to lean over the controls to reel in your catch.

To provide greater passenger comfort, center console boats often have a small head (bathroom) in the console. If there’s a cabin, you might even get berths in it.

                                                             One big advantage of this type of vessel is its improved stability. If you’re out on the water and require even weight distribution, you just need                                                               to stand in the middle where the controls are. If you brought family and friends along, they’ll need to stand spaced throughout the boat.

You’ll encounter a wide range of sizes in this style of boat, from 13’ to 53’. Before purchasing, think of what you want to use your boat for. If you want to catch fish found in smooth freshwater regions, you can get an easy-to-handle smaller craft. If you seek fish found in the rough deep ocean, you’ll want a more sturdy and larger vessel.
